no comment on their batting..it was a flop..but i dont think i must blame mahi 4 anything..he was gud.. but as far as platying the 5th bolwer is concerned it was a nt useless..thank god v had teh last bowler or else tehy would have played their shots aganst sachin n yuv..rohit is a gud runner between the wickets..i hope every1 heard mahi saying tht there was communication problem n tht y rohit couldnt really hear the shout..rohit is a young guy wid lots of pottential..he could hvae been save home if he would have heard the shout..i dont think yuvi deserves a place in the team..here i believe mahi is definately goin wrong..i mean yuvi is just totaly out of form..v must leave him wid deepika only..

that last one was apt and funny😆 but Dhoni better pull up these youngsters and act tough..tomm is a do or die or else we'll have to scrape thru only by some mathematical complexities and reach the final.yuvraj has so much attitude and the 'I am not bothered' attitude...mahi has full faith on him and he should not let his friend and country down tomm.if he clicks we can win a match.

looks like dhoni did not listen to our comments he will be playing yuvi in all games.😆

We won't rest Yuvi: Dhoni

A CORRESPONDENT

Yuvraj Singh

Adelaide: Mahendra Singh Dhoni defended his out-of-form deputy on Sunday, saying Yuvraj Singh would be his choice for the rest of the tri-series. "We'll not rest him for now. He'll be part of the team and he'll play in all the games," India captain told a post match news conference.

The following are excerpts

Were you disappointed with the way Yuvraj got out?

The shot was on. Two-three overs before that he had hit a six off a similar delivery. The bad balls are there to be punished. If you don't play your shots you don't score runs. But that wasn't the turning point. The turning point was my run out. It was bad reaction from Rohit (Sharma). Even with the cramps I could have made it easily.

Is there any possibility of resting the out-of-form Yuvraj Singh?

We'll not rest him now. He'll be part of the team and he'll play in all the games.

Any strategy behind going in with five bowlers?

Viru (Virender Sehwag) wasn't 100 per cent fit. Besides, I was very keen to go in with five bowlers in the next game against Sri Lanka. I thought why not use the strategy in this game.

Were you missing an extra batsman?

That's always an area for concern. If you play with four bowlers you'll ask me if I can go in with five. Now that I'm playing five bowlers you are thinking why not include an extra batsman. It's more about pluses and minuses.

How concerned are you with the middle order?

It's not a computer where you program a software and feed into it. Today, the batsmen needed to be more careful about their shot selection... Lack of patience could be another factor. They need to stick to their style and play responsibly.

Will Sehwag be available in the next match?

Viru should be fit, that's what I've got to say till now. The report that I've got from John (Gloster) says he should be fit for the game against Sri Lanka.

Why was Irfan Pathan sent up the order?

If you send Irfan at No. 3 it balances the side. With Gautam (Gambhir) and Sachin (Tendulkar) opening the innings, Irfan batting at No. 3 gives balance to the rest of the order and we can also bat deep. Irfan at No. 7 or 8 doesn't make too much of a difference. It's all about using the talent you've got and at times you have to do things in a different way.

How is your leg now?

It's not really a serious injury… It's not a tear. Hopefully I will be there in the next game.

Wouldn't it be a better option to push yourself up the order?

You need some support down the order. With Yuvi not being in really great nick, the middle order comes under a lot of pressure and you need a bit of experience there. Give the newcomers the opportunity to bat at No. 3 or 4. When they are set, I can push myself up.
